Geneva quarterback Matt Williams can't be defined by one position.

The Northern Illinois recruit effectively ran his offense with 273 total yards, executed a pair of onside kicks, attempted field goals and boomed a pair of pivotal punts Friday in the fourth quarter of Geneva's 33-24 victory against No. 16 Wheaton North.

"We put it in (the onside kick) in yesterday and it was a great plan by the coaches," Williams said. "I couldn't stop smiling after the second one happened. This win means everything for us. We showed we could beat a quality (DuPage Valley Conference) team."

The Vikings (2-0) set the tone by controlling the clock the majority of the first half. Geneva benefited from two onside kick recoveries by senior Jake Peterson in the first quarter, both engineered by the right foot of Williams.

Williams passed for 147 yards and Parker Woodworth tallied 106 of his game-high 175 rushing yards in the first half, scoring on runs of 16, 6 and 5 yards to give the Vikings a 20-17 halftime lead.

"Parker's the man," Williams said. "He was unbelievable tonight for us. He set up our offense and the play-action with his running."

The Falcons countered Geneva's clock-eating drives with numerous big plays, nearly pulling a repeat of last week's stunning late comeback victory against Bartlett.

Wheaton North made the most of its limited plays, scoring on a 69-yard touchdown reception by Micah Penn on its first play from scrimmage. The Falcons ran just six plays in the first quarter, but Wheaton North quarterback John Peltz battled the highly recruited Williams play for play.
